JUICE FAST NOT SLOW

Just like that the halfway point of my 14-day juice fast, provided by the lovely people at The Post East, came and went! And as fast it came, I know it will be done. My feelings right now aren’t negative about the fast, but I do miss eating, I’m not going to lie. I wanted to check in with you and let you know exactly how I was feeling at this midpoint.

Energy:
My overall energy has come up since day 2 and 3, but I am a little sleepy still. This is in part because I am still working out regularly and I’m not doing 6 juices like they recommend. I feel like 6 juices a day would really help me sustain energy when I’m working long days. Next time I will make that happen!

Workouts:
I’ve had less startup energy for my workouts, but once I get warmed up I feel way stronger. Typically, I workout 4 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour. I usually stick to body weight exercises: pull-ups, muscle-ups handstands, pistol squats, etc., but coming into the fast I started using weight once a week and the strength really feels different. I PR’d my muscle ups on the rings this week-8 in a row is a big deal for me! They were fairly strict to gymnastics standards.

Weight Loss:
Right now I’m down 9.5 pounds and I can see the difference. I am more cut, that’s for sure, and I don’t expect much more weight loss at this point.

Stay tuned for the wrap up!
